  • Summary: Cold War follows the story of a freelance journalist who finds himself in the midst of an international conspiracy that aims to control the U.S.S.R. Twelve hours after arriving in Moscow for a routine story, he has been stripped of all possessions, beaten unconscious and thrown into the KGB's political prison. Using only recovered weapons and improvised gadgets, he must now evade or overcome elite Soviet forces and defeat the conspiracy before he is sent to a Siberian prison camp or killed. Powerful and widely-recognized setting - mid-1980's U.S.S.R. Strong espionage/stealth gameplay - including gadgets like the x-ray camera. Interactive non-linear world: Accomplish objectives in multiple ways - find hidden paths, combine in-game elements to create weapons and traps, or silently eliminate opponents. Set in real Soviet locations, and is built around locations such as Lenin's Mausoleum, Chernobyl and the KGB's notorious Ljubljanka prison. [DreamCatcher]… Expand

    Much of Cold War is not exactly new - it feels a lot like Splinter Cell in many regards - but where Cold War separates itself is the execution.

    Anyone who enjoys spy thrillers and retro settings should check out this oddball sneaker. [Jan 2005, p.55]

    While the stealth mechanic is implemented fairly well, and enemy AI at least stands up to initial tests, there's just far too little excitement throughout the entire course of play.
